Surviving Katyn: Stalin’s Polish Massacre and the Search for Truth, by Jane Rogoyska

The words on the Katyn memorial in Gunnersbury "Sumienie świata woła o swiadectwo prawdzie" - The global conscience cried out for the evidence of truth- says it all. The massacre of Poles at Katyn, denied for so long by the then USSR, covered up by powers that were in UK and US has led to no-one being held accountable. It is a crime for which recompense and apology are still overdue. Stalin was indeed responsible for a far greater number of deaths than Hitler and history needs to remember this as well as the guilt of the leaders of the so-called Allies. who knew about it and kept quiet. History taught in classrooms and Universities in the UK should include these darker aspects of wartime leadership.
